University of Houston Off Campus Apartments

Ready for an Apartment near UH?

The closer you are to campus, the easier the commute so it pays to start with areas like Montrose/Midtown/Upper Kirby area. You'll find both high rises and smaller complexes in this inner loop area. The bar scene is huge but you'll want to try Little Woodrow's for sitting outside on the patio or The Gingerman for a great beer selection.

Downtown living can offer an attractive alternative and is still close enough that the commute to UH isn't terrible. Lofts and condos are plentiful and pricey, but you would be in the middle of the best area for shopping and nightlife. The area is very vibrant and fun these days. The greatest concentration of apartments is around The Galleria Area. Uptown, as it is locally referred to, has world class shopping and plenty of restaurants and bars. Try one of the Bronx bars for a nice scene.

Houston has an excellent bus system if you prefer mass transit rather than driving, but the city is a car town and is sprawling, so check into parking near or on premises of your Houston apartment. When you become a Houston Cougar, you'll be spending plenty of time on campus but the availability of so many great places near the university will make student life a lot more fun too.
